Poor policies lead to lack of tourist interest in Pakistan
2004-12-24
That could be it, but I'da said it was the explosions and the liking of the natives for lopping people's heads off...
Mrs Meena Ehsan Leghari, chairperson of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Tourism, on Thursday said lack of a comprehensive tourism policy, infrastructure and basic information about tourist destinations were the reasons foreign tourists did not flock to Pakistan. In her opening remarks as chairperson of the meeting held at the Parliament House, she said that Pakistan had immense tourism potential, which if properly exploited, could boost the national economy. The MNA urged the ministry to adopt a well-coordinated and cohesive strategy to develop the country's tourism industry. She directed the ministry to provide world-class facilities, commensurate with the rich cultural heritage and archaeological heritage of Pakistan.

#2  Now I'm totally confused. For a minute, I thought the "Primordial Soup" article was real, and this article was posted from Scrappleface.

#1  The MNA urged the ministry to adopt a well-coordinated and cohesive strategy to develop the country’s tourism industry.

For starters, bumping off terrorists and terrorist sympathizers inside Pakistani borders might help a little....

..commensurate with the rich cultural heritage and archaeological heritage of Pakistan.

Using the word "rich" to describe Pakistan's cultural heritage up to now might be considered to be a bit inaccurate, to put it mildly.
